Nissan’s Mardenborough drafted in for Blancpain Endurance finale

Super GT frontrunner and Nissan driver Jann Mardenborough will make his first Blancpain GT Series start in nearly three years at next weekend’s Endurance title decider at Barcelona.

Mardenborough has been drafted in as a replacement for the injured Lucas Ordonez by RJN Motorsport, the squad with which the Englishman has been associated with since 2011.

The 27-year-old finished, who started his career with RJN in 2011, sixth in the 2014 British GT championship with RJN and made his last Blancpain GT outing with the outfit at Silverstone in 2015, when he finished 15th and third in the pro-am class.
